A Breakout Debut Effort...

by
William Kurk, Musicianarian.

The legacy of Chuck Webb's reputation is not only impressive, but humbling. A Chicago staple in the foray of working class musicians, Webb has established his presence in the bandleader realm with this debut recording of his project. To say that this album is 'well-rounded' does not do justice to the spectrum of his repertoire on this album. From Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, James Brown, and his own works, Chuck has cemented something special for his musical outreach by giving the world a full view from his skyscraper of music. A personal highlight on this album includes the modernistic version of Monk's "Epistrophy", where Chuck just indulges freely and aggressively throughout. Other notable highlights include the Webb Original "Momo's Groove", the Sam Rivers composition "Beatrice", and the aforementioned "Epistrophy". The entire album is a brilliant work onto itself, so save yourself the trouble of trying to decide which one or two downloads you will buy, and get the full project!
